Laptops for video editing and work?

People

I currently have a laptop with an i5 and a 128GB SSD that's full and very slow. Editing programs keep crashing, and I'm looking for a very powerful used laptop for under €300 in the classifieds.

What can you recommend and why?

SSD is the storage space that is already on the laptop, right? Can you expand it with an HDD?

And can someone explain the i5 and other things you should know, as well as which metrics are important when buying a laptop? Thanks.

16GB RAM would be a must

Without memory, this thing is lame.

Bzw with little memory can be that ding lame, without memory would not even be able to start PC.

The 6 corer here is already quite capable. A modern 8 corer with 32 GB of ram costs at least twice. One thing is always used, an older 8 corer is also not faster than a modern 6 corer. Especially since used stuff can just break tomorrow and you have no guarantee.

That’s a good decision, you’ve been enjoying it for many years. The one I’ve finally linked to you is currently the best of price performance. An 8 corer for the money is already an announcement.

16GB are already OK, 32 are always better. But what do you use 32 GB for a 7-year-old laptop, with which 90% of the battery is totally over. The laptop is called HP 15-fc0270ng. I don’t think you’re successful on classifieds. That’s a pretty new laptop. There will be no big need.

I’ve just fluttered an offer for an 8-core AMD. It’s almost sold out. Unfortunately, there is also 400€

Here again the benchmark comparison values.

It’s an old lame processor.

Here is a benchmark comparison of both processors.

The Intel:

and the AMD:

So we’re talking about a difference of 300% on the CPU.

In the integrated GPU we are probably talking about factor 10
